Tomorrow was scheduled to be Levi’s first day of Classical Conversations Challenge A (and it would have been a short week due to the holiday), but we were given a reprieve due to the tutor being ill. He’ll start next week, but we’ll continue with some of his work (math and geography in particular) so that we have some breathing room.
This gives us a few more days of prep and fun before the school excitement begins. (Whew! I wasn’t quite ready, and Russ has a few days off this week!)
This week’s TO DO List:
Everything not crossed out above.
A day in the mountains.
A day on the beach.
A day at an amusement park in Portland.
A date night.
A birthday party.
[Think I can do it?!]
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So now… Levi starts CC Challenge A and Luke and Leif start their 5th year of CC Foundations (and 2nd year of Essentials for Luke) all on the 8th. I might be able to swing Book Detectives that week. We also have our charter school event on that Friday.
Swim team practice for all three starts the following week (on the 16th).
[We have options for weekend activities on the 13th and 20th, and I have my book clubs on the 18th and 25th.]
Choir and AWANA starts the week after that (on the 22nd and 24th).
You are simply amazing! Always so inspiring to me. : )
ReplyDeleteAnother reason for me to move where you live -- our Challenge A group started 3 weeks ago. I was nowhere close to being ready, so I'm imaging how perfect life would have been if I'd just had 3 extra weeks to get my life together. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots of fun times ahead for you all -- enjoy!
Awwww thanks, Misha. XOXO
ReplyDeleteKellie~ Our summer doesn't start until mid-July, so I'd be super-duper bummed if we missed out on weeks in August. In fact, I'd really rather not start until October. ;) But you'll be smiling when we're doubling up on week 1 and 2 to make up for a missed week, and when we are still attending class on December 8th! (Do you have breaks built in? We're going straight through all 15 weeks. Yowsa!)
